How to prepare
No fasting required. Continue eating your normal diet including Asian foods so the test reflects current exposures. Avoid antihistamines for 48 hours before collection. Collect the blood spot sample using the provided allergy card and post it back promptly.
After the test
Discuss your results with a healthcare provider familiar with Asian dietary patterns. A supervised elimination of high-reactive foods for 4 to 6 weeks, followed by systematic reintroduction, can help identify true triggers while maintaining nutritional balance with alternative ingredients. Keep in mind that using antibody results to guide food elimination is a contested approach rather than settled practice, so make any dietary changes with your provider rather than on your own.
Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.
Understanding results
Results show IgA antibody levels for each of the 96 Asian foods tested, categorised as normal, borderline, or elevated. Elevated IgA to specific foods suggests your gut's immune system has responded to those foods, but does not confirm they are causing your symptoms. Discuss your results with a healthcare provider who can guide culturally appropriate dietary modifications.
